The Computational Mechanics group at The University of Iowa, led by Professor S. Rahman, is looking for two new Ph.D. students, who are capable of and interested in performing high-quality research on isogeometric methods and uncertainty quantification. The research, supported by U.S. National Science Foundation, requires building a solid mathematical foundation, devising efficient numerical algorithms, and developing practical computational tools, all associated with stochastic isogeometric analysis of complex materials and structures. A substantial background in solid mechanics with coding experience in finite-element or similar methods is a must; exposures to uncertainty quantification and probabilistic methods are highly desirable.
Structural mechanics models for renewable energy applications
Dear Colleague,
the output of the FIRB Italian Project in the object (Politecnico di Torino, University of Salento and University of Trento, 2012-2016) has been published on the following permanent webpage:
http://musam.imtlucca.it/FIRB.html
Models and applications regard photovoltaic modules, solid oxide fuel cells, and piezoelectrical systems for energy harvesting.
Yours sincerely,
Marco Paggi

Post-Doctoral Position in Bone Biomechanics
A position for a post-doctoral researcher is available in the Microstructure Testing and Analysis Laboratory, School of Mechanical Engineering at Purdue University. The individual appointed to the position will be responsible for research on failure of trabecular bone. A strong background in solid mechanics is desired, with knowledge of numerical simulation. Interest and willingness to participate in an interdisciplinary research team is essential. The position is available for a start Sept. 1, 2016. The position is for 12 months with extension possible pending on performance.
PhD Position in Experimental and Computational Fluid-Structure Interactions
Funded PhD thesis in Mechanical Engineering
Computational and experimental investigation on the dynamic stability of a flat plate deforming with large amplitude under fluid flow
A fully funded thesis project is proposed at Ecole Polytechnique in Montreal, Canada to start in 2017.
PhD/Postdoc position at IIT Delhi
A PhD/Postdoc position is available for Indian nationals in my group to work in the broad area of "Molecular origin of elastic/plastic deformations in nanorods". This is a collaborative project with Germany and may require a semester or two stay in Germany. The PhD applicant should have good background in mathematics and solid mechanics. The postdoc candidate should preferably also be familiar with molecular modeling of materials.
